Last month, Liverpool misfit Mario Balotelli made it emphatically clear that he wants out of Anfield, but with loan club AC Milan unwilling to offer him a permanent, it looks like Balotelli is on his way back to Merseyside.

Balotelli's desire to 'leave Liverpool' will not endear him to Jurgen Klopp, and even if Sturridge gets injured again, harder-working players like Origi and Ings will always get the nod ahead of the Italian.

Quite simply, Balotelli - hailed in February by Berlusconi for his 'exceptional ball control' - is a transfer mistake, and the sooner he's off the books, the better.
